Honeycomb speaker system

Abstract

A hexagonal speaker with six edges (sides) and four drivers. A pair of drivers is embedded on adjacent edges and another pair of drivers is embedded on the opposite edges, while two opposing edges in between each pair of drivers do not have a driver. A down-firing subwoofer is located on the bottom of the speaker. The speaker is raised off the ground so that the subwoofer can output sound without touching the ground. An air vent tube is also located on the bottom of the speaker adjacent to the subwoofer.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit to U.S. provisional application 62 / 056,527, filed on Sep. 27, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]The present general inventive concept is directed to a loudspeaker system.[0004]Description of the Related Art[0005]Loudspeakers are well known devices which are designed to convert electrical energy signals into corresponding acoustical energy sound waves. Such loudspeakers typically include a closed box-shaped housing or similar enclosure having one or more individual speakers mounted on an edge thereof. The speakers face outwardly from the enclosure such that the sound waves are emitted forwardly therefrom. When more than one speaker is provided on the enclosure, an electronic cross over circuit is usually provided to divide the electrical signals. The nature of the sounds generated by the loudspeaker is dependent upon m...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The honeycomb design achieves high-quality, depth-expanded sound reproduction with reduced distortion and improved power handling, providing a more immersive listening experience with enhanced spatial imaging and clarity.

Problems solved by technology

As the loudspeaker system contained therein moves to produce the sound, these structures are characterized by vibration and standing waves as well as diffracted waves caused by sharp boundaries of the sidewalls of the enclosure which lessens the quality of the sound response.

One drawback with current stereo loudspeaker arrangements is that the created stereophonic effect hardly gives an impression of a depth-expanded sound.

In a system of two loudspeakers (with or without a separated dedicated subwoofer), it is to some degree possible to create a depth extension of the sound field (particularly within the medium level of the loudspeakers) but the impression of the space of the performance remains inadequate.
